TOP 3 FUN THINGS TO DO:
⭐️Controlling/managing your ship.
⭐️Raiding other ships.
⭐️Exploring islands.

THE UNIQUES:
💎Ship management.
💎Pirates!
💎Historical events.

PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
💼Pirates.
💼Adventure.
💼RPG.

VERDICT:
Black Flag beats ALL the previous titles, the story, the characters, the in depth world and ocean, and above all.... the SHANTIES! The only AC title that's on par has to be AC II purely because Ezio has such a strong story line and I somehow always remember him when it comes to AC but Edward and his crew just creeps above him.

This game is well worth the asking price and deserves to be played just for the leisure and the booty of course.
Total Score = 100/100.

GAMEPLAY:
It is the sixth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series. Its historical timeframe precedes that of Assassin's Creed III, though its modern-day sequences succeed III's own.

The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and describes the player as an Abstergo agent. The main story is set in the 18th century Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, and follows notorious Welsh pirate Edward Kenway, grandfather and father of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor).

Unlike previous games, gameplay elements focus more on the ship-based exploration of the seamless open world map, while also retaining the series' third-person land-based exploration, melee combat, and stealth system. The game's setting spans the West Indies with the three main cities of Havana, Nassau, and Kingston, along with numerous islands, sunken ships, and forts. Players have the option to harpoon large sea animals and hunt land animals. For the first time in the series, naval exploration is a major part of an Assassin's Creed game, where Edward Kenway captains the Jackdaw, a brig he captures from a Spanish fleet in an early game mission.
